Feeling the burn....

Sunburn that is...from sitting outside the Hilton for 2 hours to see the premiere of Julianne Moore's new film, Savage Grace. Really don't know how receptive the US is going to be to this movie. Background: Troubled, off-balance marriage results in years worth of consequences and the son feeling like a pawn who commits to venegence. That's only a nutshell's worth. Basically Julianne Moore is a socialite...her husband socially awkward...and they have a son, Tony The son becomes the only connecting point and drama to much of the couple's life. The son struggles with his sexuality...the mother is sexually starved...the father sexually unstatisfied. So how are all these settled? (SPOILER AHEAD) The son decides to stick to being homosexual, the mother and son begin an incestuous relationship...to say the least...and the father steals Tony's young girlfriend to be his mistress. So ending? Tony kills his mother....yea. And this is based on a true story? So I'm saying maybe straight to DVD in the states, maybe limited release....Americans won't be receptive to this...but I'm only speculating...

And now yesterday's movies:

Heroes -- a french film...pretty fair reviews. Basically imagine a comedian kidnapping a rock star...and then torching himself and the captive. I thought the movie was a contrast between perceived identity and actual identity. I'll probably write one of my reviews on this one.

Movie at the Beach: Literally...chairs set up...huge screen (see facebook photos) -- old movie: Wild at Heart with Nicolas Cage...80's movie that I don't even know where to begin. Attempted Wizard of Oz threading...but sloppy intertwine. In terms of American style still think: booze boobs and blondes. But without the consistant humor.

EARLY EARLY morning tomorrow. We get temporary market passes tomorrow to see more films. GREAT premiere tomorrow night that I'm going to want to try to snag tickets to: No Country for Old Men --- a CORMAC MCCARTHY based film! (Katie this one's for you!) Maybe Kibler's southern lit class last semester and reading McCarthy's series will reap benefits finally!

And then Michael Moore's new film comes out tomorrow...best of luck to ANYONE who gets tickets...we're all going to try...really wanting to see this film and squirm! Yes!

OK...so 7am wake up call. Big big day ahead!
